InnoDB assert dict_sys->size > 0 during ALTER TABLE

Details

    Description

      During repeated runs of a migration script in a single connection on an otherwise idle server, InnoDB crashes on an assert:

      2017-07-14 10:17:09 0x700004690000  InnoDB: Assertion failure in file /tmp/mariadb-20170712-4418-z03ns4/mariadb-10.2.7/storage/innobase/dict/dict0dict.cc line 1760
      InnoDB: Failing assertion: dict_sys->size > 0
      InnoDB: We intentionally generate a memory trap.
      InnoDB: Submit a detailed bug report to http://bugs.mysql.com.
      InnoDB: If you get repeated assertion failures or crashes, even
      InnoDB: immediately after the mysqld startup, there may be
      InnoDB: corruption in the InnoDB tablespace. Please refer to
      InnoDB: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/forcing-innodb-recovery.html
      InnoDB: about forcing recovery.

      This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
      or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
      or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
       
      To report this bug, see https://mariadb.com/kb/en/reporting-bugs
       
      We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help
      diagnose the problem, but since we have already crashed,
      something is definitely wrong and this may fail.
       
      Server version: 10.2.7-MariaDB
      key_buffer_size=134217728
      read_buffer_size=131072
      max_used_connections=1
      max_threads=153
      thread_count=7
      It is possible that mysqld could use up to
      key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 467207 K  bytes of memory
      Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

      We think the query pointer is invalid, but we will try to print it anyway.

      This was brought to my attention due to a similar crash on RDS on a MySQL 5.7.17 instances. AWS support pointed to this MySQL bug:

      https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=84672

      That was not reproducible apparently and hand-waved away as hardware troubles.

      This crash similarly occurs on Percona Server 5.7. This has been encountered in multiple environments, and this sample is from my local workstation.

      To reproduce I use the attached sql script and run:

      #!/bin/bash
       
      set -e
       
      while true; do
      mysql < migration_crasher.sql
      done
      

      This fails after approximately 15 seconds on my local environment.

      I additionally inspected data dictionary memory concurrently and found strange output:

      while true;do mysql -sse 'SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS\G' | egrep '^Dictionary memory allocated';sleep 0.1;done
      ...
      Dictionary memory allocated 14342
      Dictionary memory allocated 9811
      Dictionary memory allocated 211
      Dictionary memory allocated 20302
      Dictionary memory allocated 18446744073709551123
      Dictionary memory allocated 3955
      Dictionary memory allocated 3334
      Dictionary memory allocated 9997
      Dictionary memory allocated 18446744073709540819
      ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (61)
      

      I was not able to reproduce this under MariaDB 10.1. Additionally, after enabling old_alter_table I could not reproduce the problem.
